Chelsea hopes to sign Manchester United star Angel Gomes

Chelsea believe they are close to the landing of Manchester United star Angel Gomes.

The 19-year-old midfielder, a U-20 international from England, has recruited super agent Pini Zahavi, who is believed to have had conversations with Blues chief transfer officer Marina Granovskaia.

Gomes has no contract with United at the end of next month and has rejected a new deal worth £ 30,000 per week.

United are hoping to link the midfielder with a new contract, but Gomes wants regular first-team soccer after just six first-team appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team this season.

Lampard remains a strong advocate for promoting youth at Stamford Bridge, with people like Mason Mount, Fikayo Tomori and Reece James having benefited from the philosophy of the former Derby boss.

Gomes captained England U19s for World Cup success in 2018 and only last month suggested he wanted to stay at United and win trophies.

“I’ve seen him over the years, leaving the academy and being with United my entire career,” he said during a Google Hangout on the club’s official website.

“It’s what I want to do: win trophies for the club.”
